Big Brother narrator Mike Goldman opened up to the Herald Sun about the shock death of the 46-year-old model after her body was found in her Sydney home in January. Initial reports suggested she had committed suicide.

'She was excited about so many things in the future,' said Goldman, before going on to explain that he felt she was in a good place before her untimely death - having interviewed her just three months before for his On The Mike podcast, where she spoke at length about her past achievements and future plans.

'It annoyed me to see people jump to conclusions, which I personally think is the wrong conclusion,' he said.

'It's a real sad loss and personally I think it was an accident.'

Goldman’s thoughts come just weeks after another friend spoke to The Daily Telegraph anonymously, stating they didn’t believe she wold take her own life.

'I saw her just days before and while everyone knew Annalise could be a fragile person, that doesn't mean she was depressed or depressive.'

Missing days like these..... #malibu pre fires only a few short weeks ago. My heart still aches for all the animals hurt and killed and people's homes lost and the destruction of the beautiful landscapes I was so lucky to hike in for @hikecaribbean Isn't it incredible how life has such variable highs and lows, and insane contrasts. I don't know about you all, but I'm super sensitive to everything and everyone including the planetary alignments... and when Mercury is in retrograde I just want to bury myself in the sand or sit on the sand like a mermaid 🧜‍♀️ like I was here instead of dealing with all this craziness.... But I know what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Its all for a reason. To grow. To learn. To push boundaries and break them with infinite finesse for our higher selves and more.... Here's to being Vikings and Vikingesses my lovelies! Mercury in retrograde who? Broken down everything what? Ha ha 🙄😳☠️ #wegotthis #love #strength #la #losangeles #usa #world #planet #earth #motherearth #mercuryinretrograde #mongrel #sheesh #notgoingtogiveup #fire #ruok #lovemybro 📷 @whoissamsugar

The friend is adamant that Annalise died of an accidental drug overdose.

However, Annalise’s mother, Vera Stevens spoke to Channel Seven's Sunday Night show recently and revealed another side to her daughter, explaining that she was obsessed with presenting a picture-perfect life on social media, and had complained that she was 'depressed'.

'I never looked at her Instagram, I never looked at her Facebook, because it upset me,' Vera told the program.
